Musical CondomsUkrainian scientist has invented a condom that plays music during sex.A miniature loudspeaker and motion sensor implanted in the condom’s upper cuff provides a range of musical tones during sex. Music volume depends on intensity of love-making and tone varies based on the sexual position.The condom’s main limitation, however, is primitive sound quality, similar to tones produced by first-generation cellphones. Testing has shown no danger of electric shock to users of the device.

But remember, you should never reuse a condom.

‘Spray-On’ Condom

A German inventor, Jan Vinzenz Krause, has come up with a sprayed-to-measure system that should ensure a snug fit for even the most unusual sizes.”With our technology we could spray a condom on an erect elephant,” he declared, not without a hint of pride.The aim is for the process to take just 10 seconds but at present the latex drying time is around 20 to 25 seconds. “We’re working to shorten that time,” said Krause.

"In honor of this momentous occasion, I’ve put together a “Guide To PAC-MAN Ghosts”. It features the ghosts you’re all familiar with, plus some exotic species like the Dwight Schrute ghost and the notorious Kim Jong-Il ghost." Click on the image to see it full size. (by Martin Refsal)

Celebrating Pac-Man's 30th Birthday - here's a rundown of some of the coolest cakes (and cookies, and cupcakes) that people have baked over the years to celebrate others' special days.

1. Classic Pac-Man

Like the game, this cake is comfortingly straightforward.

2. NontraditionalThis wildly elaborate version was cooked up for Omar Kooheji, a sofware developer who wrote about the creation on his blog OHMZ. Judging from the vast amount of chips and soda, this was a gamer's dream birthday.

3. Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-ManBehind every yellow orb thing there's a strong yellow orb thing lady, and the members of SC3 (Southern California Classic Collectors) didn't forget that when they whipped up these pair of Pac-Man and Ms.Pac-Man cakes for their October 2006 meeting.

4. Solo Ms. Pac-ManA bakery called SophistiCakes in Raleigh, N.C.. took it one step farther and created a giant homage to Pac-Man's better half.

5.The Game CabinetThis brave baker went the nontraditional route, building up instead of out, which always presents the hazard of a cake collapse. On her blog, Glitter Pissing, the baker, Rakka, shared her feelings about the results: "I''m not too happy with either of those. Oh, well. Too late to do anything about it now." We think she's being too hard on herself. There is a tiny coin slot in the front, for Namco's sake!

6. The Impromptu Pac-Man CakeHow many times have you cut a slice out of something and said, "That looks like Pac-Man?" At least three or four times, right?

7. The '80s HomageThe only thing that could make this cake, created by Rachel Martin of Customized Cakes, more '80s would be if John Cusack burst out of it.

8. CookiesYou, too, can bake these adorable Pac-Man and ghost cookies using the tutorial posted by Jocelyn at Snack or Die. It's quite possibly the most ingenious use of a tulip cookie cutter we've ever seen (assuming that one has ever had cause to use a tulip cookie cutter ingeniously before).

10. Just the Ghost, and Nothing But the Ghost, Ma'am.The total lack of background story supplied with early video games somehow made the conflicts more eerie. Who were the ghosts and where did they come from? And what did they have against Pac-Man? At any rate, we love the spookiness that emanates from this cake's glowing tea candle eyes.

Guerlain ShalimarGuerlain’s flagship fragrance has been wildly popular since 1925. This particular bottle is more than fifteen inches tall!

The Jar CollectorEngland’s Harris Museum’s claim to fame is that it houses the largest perfume-bottle collection in the world. It all belonged to one woman, who bequeathed it to the museum in totality.

The Littlest Bottle in the WorldOkay, so it’s not actually the smallest bottle in the world, but Thumbelina sure would enjoy it.
